Being somewhat familiar with Sheet scripts was super helpful as a TA
I set up a grading spreadsheet for the professor and myself and then wrote a script to export a separate document for each student.
It saved me hours of typing.

I tried many times to work with Google api with not success. After following this guide I made it. I swear to god you are the best!

[Jacksonvja]

Although this video is about google sheets it really helped me to get started with google docs api. Thanks Tim!,
by the way I recommend you make a video that focuses on docs, it took me a long time to find those on the internet, It can help a lot of people.

Dude your video gave me ideas to slack off even more at work, awesome lol!

Как же ты крут!
Видимо мой уровень чтения документации низок. Ты мне очень помог спасибо.

[CountryCalledCHAD]

Tim, once again you have created a quality tutorial. Kudos!

[Noobsitogamer]

Saves me a ton of time vs doing it solo!

It's hilarious that you got me this when I was trying to figure out how to import csv file data into Google Sheets!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

II had trouble setting up the venv for windows, so if anyone else encounters this here was my solution. Running scripts seems to be disabled by default in PowerShell, so I first ran this command: "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser". This allowed me to then run .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1 (where venv is the name of your virtual environment), and my venv was up and running. Otherwise great video!

Grate tutorial man 🎉🎉, Can you please make a tutorial for google drive automation...

[luabmuzy]

In these videos about Google Sheets, I never find what I'm looking for.

If I work with different spreadsheets, will I have to open the app code to change the IDs?

[learningstuff]

Would love to see your tutorials start with a demo, show actual use cases - and then proceed with the tutorial

[andrescesin]

If you are using anaconda when you start a new environment make sure to install pip so you can install the google packages

[youtubeuser]

Thank you for the tutorial. I’m curious how this could involve working with the google drive python package. Would be nice to see a tutorial that involves have a dataset in python and need to save to a particular tab on a google sheet in a specific folder in my gdrive. Also add functionality such as, if the said folder does not exist, create it, etc.

[sergiosmfyo]

Thank you!!! It helped me. It's my first try using APIS. I'm trying with B4A the next part after downloading the credentials

[AndreSHoek]

Beautiful and concise step by step, much appreciated! 🍻

[pranavmenon]

This was awesome! it would be awesome to get a similar video for the google forms API!

[yohanesyoga]

thank you tim. great tutorial to start understanding google sheet API.
anyone can give me an idea why do we need an automation instead of editing directly in google sheet? what we can't do or it will be pain in the ass to do directly?
